POP TiKR – Download Your Local Scene

Project Description:

For the past few years, local businesses have been dealing with a shift to their normal day to day operations because of the global pandemic.
At the end of 2021, they are still facing the same issues, however they are also much closer to going back to normal.

To further assist local businesses in this time of need, POP TiKR “Download Your Local Scene” has made available a suite of innovative, robust and responsive applications that will harness the process of creating and managing deals for business owners. We are also offering a state of the arch Mobile Application for residents and tourists, where they can easily discover their local scene and redeem coupons.

Our solution has been made available for everyone to use since September 2021, and we have had an amazing launch event that definitely put POP TiKR on the map.
We currently have more than 100 businesses already onboarded on our platform, and since we have made our mobile application available on app stores, 500 people have downloaded and used the app.
